Bitcoin Gold will not use SHA256 but instead will use Equihash Algorithm used by Zcash.

It will implement User Activated Hard Fork (UAHF) to accept GPU mining where miners can select the block size they want to mine and which includes replay and wipeout protection.

Jack Liao first announced the fork in [Bitcointalk.org](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2046790.0) and recently posted in their Twitter account to hold Bitcoin on October 25 and get free Bitcoin Gold on November 01.
